Research Assignment: A Hypothetical Outdoor Canadian Trip
*Pretend that you and a friend have a week off this summer and a brand new Jeep Wrangler to travel anywhere you want in Canada. All you know is that you want to enjoy some nature and potentially see a few sights along the way. You may stay in hotels and do want you want for entertainment, but...you only have 3000 dollars for the week for ALL of you expenses and you MUST drive the Jeep. Please complete the following and post it in office 365. You may work with a partner if you want.
a) Where are you going?
b) What are you going to do over the week and why? (Provide a detailed itinerary)
c) What will you pack? (Provide a list like the one we made in class)
d) What will you eat? (Be specific for what you will buy, bring and where you will eat out)
e) Where will you stay throughout the trip?
f) Break down the $$$ of the trip to the nearest dollar!
***Consider gas millage for a new Jeep, your food, entertainment, hotels, gear you have to buy, rental fees, park fees...???
***You may use a Power Point, Word file or...anything else you know would work well to show the trip in detail.
